Our world of adventure is getting a new, 32x40-inch folded map on durable, synthetic "trail map" paper, which can be unfolded and folded repeatedly without breaking down. We also are going to make it a two-sided affair, with the central continent zoomed in on the reverse side. Stay tuned for a preorder on this new presentation of the HYPERBOREA map! Cartography by Mr. Glynn Seal!

THIS DAY IN D&D HISTORY, OCTOBER 6, 1950 🎲 David J. Ritchie was born. Blackmoor was D&D before D&D, and Ritchie helped bring it back to our tables. He co-wrote Adventures in Blackmoor, Temple of the Frog, and City of the Gods with Dave Arneson, then penned The Duchy of Ten. And LOOK at these covers. You’ve got swords, sorcery, and then suddenly you’re asking whether your armor class works against a laser. 😆 Today, a salute to a name that deserves more recognition in D&D history. Four adventures. One gloriously strange corner of D&D. Which one did YOU explore?

I just picked up Search for the Sorceress from Double D Enterprises at DriveThruRPG: In this one-night adventure for characters level 4-5, the party must find a sorceress trapped inside the floating head of a long forgotten deity in the Astral Plane. There they must avoid the denizens of that realm, the Cenomonks, and the dreaded Void Maggot, amongst many other perils. If they can rescue the sorceress they will be rewarded handsomely. If they fail, they may be entombed in the Head of Obed for all eternity!

My friends at Parallel Dimension Gaming are at it again with another great project. New company, tremendous amount of industry experience in the creation of strange and unique gaming content.
One of the coolest additions to the Crimson Wake crowdfunding project is Harboring Shadows, a novella that expands the story and brings the cursed town of Brineharbor to life. Check out the project 👉 backerkit.com/c/projects/par… #OldSchoolEssentials #OSE #OSR #TTRPG #Crowdfunding

Today marks the 79th natal anniversary of the great Dave Arneson, the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, whose ideas and concepts birthed an entire hobby from which I now make a living. In one week, I will be at an event called @ArneconTFotT (Arnecon Gaming Convention) that celebrates his life and works. Join us for fun, gaming, and camaraderie in Minneapolis!

Fellow gamers, from October 7 to October 9, I will be appearing at @ArneconTFotT (Arnecon Gaming Convention), hosted by the good people from @Blackmoor_Film. Together, we will roll dice, discuss gaming, and celebrate the life and achievements of the great Dave Arneson. I can't wait to run our popular adventure, The Oblation Slab of the Hepatomancer. Stop by if you are in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area! It's going to be a blast.

Check out Dave (aka ThurianKnight), the developer of our Hyperborea system and compendium for Foundry VTT. Dave is running The Oblation Slab of the Hepatomancer (written by Joe Maccarrone), showcasing the new compendium. But don't watch this yet if you are in one of my Arnecon events in 10 days! ;) youtu.be/1e7cJMgZgxU?is=hGx-…
